Funny and enjoyable
Full disclosure that I have not played the first in the series. I got turned off these 'classic' games recently having played a few that were just annoying and hopeless "try everything in my bag together" style. Reviews suggested this title was solid and they could be played in any order so, I went for it! No regrets. This was a humorous game that had me smiling and outright laughing throughout. Not quite on par with Monkey Island, but pretty darn close. The protagonist is very likeable and her sassy commentary was a highlight. There were a few lags or skips with the voice acting but everything can be repeated with clicking so that wasn't a problem. I did not encounter any other bugs or glitches. While you can die, the deaths are quite funny, and you're always well warned ("this looks dangerous"). You do have to load from a saved game so if - like me - you decide to seek out the deaths for fun, make sure to save first or you'll lose your progress. In fact, just save frequently in general because a lot of this game was trial and error inventory puzzles. If you don't want to hike back to gather radishes again, you better have various save files so you can try different things out stress free. Good news is no timed puzzles except sort of the last one which, again, can be played again and again till you get it right. I have a low stress threshold and didn't break a sweat. I only used a walkthrough for two parts (once because I just didn't see something clickable), so on the whole the puzzles were usually well plotted and followed the same zany logic throughout. Once I got in the groove, I was flying along. All in all, this was a super fun point-and-click with few frustrating moments, solid animation, surprisingly large scenes to explore, and satisfying puzzles. I would strongly recommend this to fans of the genre.
